Step 2:
+Step 2: Creating your account.
From the Main page, select “Start your Project” underlined in red.
-
To begin your database setup that involves creating an account on the SupaBase website.
From the Main page, select “Start your Project” underlined in red.

After creating your new account proceed to your dashboard, and select -“New Project”

# Step 4
+After creating your new account proceed to your dashboard, and select +“New Project” +
+
+The next step is to create your respective database, be sure to take +note of the database password as this will be needed later on. +
+
+While on your project dashboard select the settings gear in the bottom +left. +
+
+Take note of all the of the connection parameters, as well as the +database password in Step 4. +
+
+Now that we’ve created our database and have gotten all the needed +parameters we can now connect the database to our survey. Taking a look +at our code inside of our survey.qmd file you may +notice the 6 parameters, 5 of which we’ve discovered earlier. The last +parameter would be “table_name”, this parameter can be any name of your +choosing. +
+Note: All parameters currently listed as NULL must be wrapped in +quotes when replaced.
+
+# surveydown stores data on a database that you define at https://supabase.com/
+# To connect to a database to store the survey data, update this with details
+# from your supabase account and database. See documentation for details.
+# For security, we recommend storing your supabase password in your R
+# environment instead of hard-coding it here, which you can open and edit with
+# usethis::edit_r_environ()
+
+ db <- sd_database(
+ host = NULL,
+ db_name = NULL,
+ port = NULL,
+ user = NULL,
+ table_name = NULL,
+ password = Sys.getenv("SUPABASE_PASSWORD")
+ )
+
+# If you don't have a database setup you can just leave the function blank.
+
+db <- sd_database()+As you may also notice db is defined twice. After putting in your +parameters in their respective places make sure to delete the line: +
+
+db <- sd_database()+You may also notice that our password parameter is +hidden inside of our R environment. This is for security reasons and is +recommended. +
++This step shows how to put your database password inside of the R +environment. +
+This should open up a new R tab called “.Renviron”
+
+usethis::edit_r_environ()+Now that we have our password secure and all other parameters we can +update our sd_database() function from Step 8 to look like this: +
+
+ db <- sd_database(
+ host = "aws-0-us-west-1.pooler.supabase.com", #This varies based on location,
+ #check Step 7.
+ db_name = "postgres", # For the purpose of Supabase, this will always be "postgres".
+ port = "####", # Your 4 digit port number from Step 7.
+ user = "postgres.UserValue", # This is the User parameter from Step 7.
+ table_name = "What Ever Name You Want", # This is what your table name will be.
+ password = Sys.getenv("SUPABASE_PASSWORD") #Database password - Steps 4 and 9.
+ )
